# Fast Inventory

A quick-entry home inventory tool. Add items in seconds, track values, manage status, attach photos and receipts.

## Quick Start

```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```

Open http://localhost:5173

## Usage

**Add an item:** Type a name in the top bar and press Enter. That's it — 1 second.

**Enriched entry:** Name → Tab → Category (autocomplete) → Tab → Location (autocomplete) → Enter. About 3 seconds.

**Edit details:** Click any item row to open the detail modal. Add purchase price, date, notes, photos, receipts, or change status.

**Statuses:** Active, Lent Out, Sold, Lost, Trashed. Defaults to Active.

**Stats:** Click the Stats tab for value breakdowns, item counts, and inflow/outflow charts.

## Production

```bash
npm run build
npm start
```

Runs on http://localhost:3001 (single server, no separate frontend process).

Set a custom port with `PORT=8080 npm start`.

## Tech Stack

- **Backend:** Express + TypeScript + SQLite (better-sqlite3)
- **Frontend:** React + Vite + Tailwind CSS + Recharts
- **Storage:** SQLite database at `server/data/inventory.db`, uploads at `server/uploads/`

## Data

All data is local. The SQLite database and uploaded files live in the `server/` directory:

- `server/data/inventory.db` — database
- `server/uploads/` — photos and receipts

Back up these two paths to preserve your inventory.
